notices some times in the shape of original
editorials) of the "Tortilita Mines" in
some of our exchanges. Are those who
are publishing them quite sure they are
not being humbagged, while at the same
time they are helping to defraud their
readers? We do not know that such Is the
case, but we have an idea that the TOR.
tilita Mining Company" is no good. The
business(?) was offered to the GOLD LEAF,
but We take no stock In schemes of that
kind. When we have advertising space to
give away we prefer to let our Nome folks
have the benefit of it. VIII those OF our
brethren of the press who are publishing
the Tortilita advertisements let us know
when they begin to realize on their invest

progressive in his ideas sees at once that
this is the biggest thing in the way of an
advertisement yet proposed for Henderson
and Vance county. Such thing is calcu-
lated to set the town several years in ad-
vance if the opportunity is grasped at its

We have received another communica-
ton from Rev. NJ. V. McDuffie, bearing
date OF Sept. Goth, following up the sug-
gestion made in his letter published last
week. While we appreciate deeply his kind
interest in our behalf and esteem most
highly all that he says of us, the matter is
so personal 10 ourself that we hesitate to
print this last letter, and in doing SO we do
not believe our friend will accuse us Ct a
want of gratitude. Brother McDuffie con-
fesses to an appreciation of the delicate and
embarrassing position in which he places lis,
but says we should consider ourself i'll the

OUR ILLUSTRATED INDUSTRL
AL EDITION,
What Some of our Exchanges say Of it

The Charlotte Daily Chronicle, itself ere
| of the most wide-awake, enterprising and
progressive papers i'm the State, speaks of
the GOLD LEAFS proposed trade issue in
this way. 1t says;
| HESDERsoN's OPPORTUNITY.
| 4 thoroughly wide-awake paper is Of in
| calculable benefit TO the town so fortunate
| as 10 have one.
| In the GOLD LEAF Hendersea has
worthy champion of all her rights and in
| terests. Editor Thad Manning has iabored
| necessarily, in season and cat of season, to
| build up 4 live local journal and his paper
| to-day stands among the beStin North Car
| olina.
| Mr. Manning proposes to issue mammoth
! illustrated industrial edition of the GOLD
! LEAF, and in this way secure patronage
sufficient to purchase a power press. The
| citizens of henderson should take hold OF
| the matter without Il moments dely Such
/ a scheme would give Henderson boom to
| be obtained i'll no other way. Towns to
| keep up with the procession i'll the march
of progress must literally patronze their
| home papers. Henderson has the opportu-
nifty. Will she embrace it?
| And the Raleigh Erening Tssior. 'little
but loud" i'll tic enterprise of news gather
ing, ever quick to see the good results to
| come from anything of the kind, speaks
thus encouragingly Of our enterprise. 1t
says:
A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.
We learn that it is the intention of the
| energetic editor of the Henderson GOLD
LEAF, Thad K. Manning, Esq. TO issue at
| an early day trade edition of That va lua b e
journal, in which viii be set forth the great
advantages of that prosperous and enter
prising town. 1t would seem TO be almost
supertlueus to dwell upon the many adj
yantages that accrue from we'll conducted
paper to the growth of community, and it
IS conceded that the GOLD LEAF has been
a most powerful lever in bringing Hender-
son up to its present commercial impor-
lance. While the general object of the
proposed edition is to present to the people
of the surrounding section and of the State,
the facilities for trade offered by the people
of Henderson, Brother Manning has still
an eye to individual business. He desires
to procure for his establishment a power
press, by means Of which he can the better
conduct his business and at the same time
be of more service to the people of his
section. We sincerely hope he may sue
coed to the utmost in this c0mmendable
enterprise and we trust that the people of
Henderson and the surrounding country
will appreciate it to the extent of the most
liberal encouragement.

A MATTER OF FACT.-The GOLD LEAF
does not like to have to censure the acts of
any one, especially second time but it is
the duty of a newspaper to callattention to
and correct existing evils, as much as it is
to commend and applaud where praise is
deserved. There appears to be misap-
prehension on the part of some one as to
the purposes and intents of county prison.
1t the GOLD LEAF understands it Alright
the Jail is designed as place for the con-
finement and safe keeping of prisoners,
and not of bodily punishment and ill treat
ment. The inmates of that institution
hardened criminals though they may be
are entitled to humane treatment, and the
keeper has no business or right to neglect
the comfort or welfare of one when sick,
at any rate. One of the prisoners John 4.
Norwood, was taken sick Sunday. lie
needed medical attention Finally DR.
F. r. Harris County Superintendent of
Health, was summoned. lie went to the
Jail but could not get in-no one there. A
second visit was made with same result
and it was not until late yesterday after.
noon that the sick man had a doctor with
him. Is there any excuse for this sort OF
thing? If the jaiior is paid to do his duty,
his duty should be required of him.

when the Weather Signal Bureau at Wash

lowering temperature as the day wore on

THE TOBACCO MARKET.-Our tobacco
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and buyers-are max

crop. 1t has begun to come into market
earlier, the prices rule high, and the indica-
tons are that this is to be the busiest season

Though the crop is short one in acreage, it
is good one-never was it cured with finer
success-and naturally enough such stock
